Book Review By Delight Comphel
The Glass Lake by Maeve Binchy

This is the very fascinating story of many forms of love.
Ms. Binchy excels in intimately acquainting the reader with a woman who is has desperately searched for "true" love. When she feels she has found it, once again she realizes her loss. The story is very complex and never dull. I think back on the story often and will always consider "The Glass Lake" one of the most excellent books I have read.
